    I did not know what to expect. being outside and the weather was cool. Thought it should have been inside a classroom setting to start out with. Being at the waterfront park had it's distractions of a public park dealing with people and noise of this location. But I did learn more about photography skills which is what I had hoped to do.

    We had hiked the beach for miles capturing bald eagles "fishing" the shore line and all of a sudden I looked down the beach a bit and there was this solo rock setting there with the most vibrant almost iridesent lime greenish yellow lichen on one side. I stopped and watched as the waves broke against it and noticed every once in awhile there would be a bit of upward splash of water that we thought was cool so I just waited for that to happen and shot probably 10 exposures at different times to

I am exceedingly pleased with how the photos came out and it seems so are other folks. Im already working on having a couple blown up for prints in my home. I would say this is some of the best work Ive done.

    Title or Location: Pioche Mill, Pioche Nevada
    A few years ago I attended the Lincoln County Photo Festival in Caliente Nevada, a great one-week photography workshop put on by Lincoln County to promote tourism. While there, we were given permission to shoot the abandoned mill at night (normally closed to the public). I was hoping to get some good milkway photos with the mill, but the stars were barely visible due to a half-moon and lots of clouds. Using the moonlight and clouds to my advantage, I instead did some very long exposures whic

    This is a photo of the Williams Mine Wildfire, that was burning on the slopes of Mount Adams on 8/11. The fire was crossing 12,000 acres at the time. I had scouted the location a few days before, and my goal was to take a photo that communicated the scale and impact of wildfires within the context of the surroundings. I knew I needed twilight for the fire itself to be visible, and actually captured the intended shot about an hour before this. I did not look at the space weather forecast, and not
